MATLAB: Am I unable to use the QSC100 board with xPC Target 3.4 (R2008a)

Simulink Real-Time

I have model containing the QSC100 block. When I run this model on the target machine, the model starts to run, and after about 0.5 sec the entire simulation hangs and stops.
This same model worked fine in MATLAB R2007a.

Best Answer

The model runs fine in MATLAB R2007a because of an unexpected behavior of the QSC100 block even when the "Enable Auto RTS/CTS" checkbox is checked.
The ideal behavior is that if the cable doesn't connect RTS and CTS between the machines, then the transmitter should not run if you select auto control of these signals.
This issue was fixed in R2008a and now if there is no cable connecting RTS and CTS, uncheck the "Enable Auto RTS/CTS" checkbox before building the model and running it on the target machine.
